Chapter 2

Sweet Memories-Mountain Gate

THUNK!

The blade was embedded in the trunk of the oak tree. Everybody let out a whoosh of air; Eilie enjoyed a secret smile as she realized that her act had even worried Rina. Riou stood still for a second or two, his eyes large and unmoving. Then he slumped backwards and fell on his butt.

Then everything was normal again. Rina smiled her seductive smile, Bolgan gave Eilie his usual grin, the crowd of people clapped and the poor victim started to breathe again.

~After a while~

Riou had recovered from his "near-death experience" as his ash-blonde-haired friend Jowy had put it.

Rina, the quick thinker that she was had already notice that both the youths had weapons and looked skilled enough to use them efficiently. These two would be a great help to the trio on their journey through the mountain pass to the town of Kyaro.

After they had talked for sometime, Jowy and Riou disclosed that they were going to Kyaro too and would appreciate the traveling circus' help.

They had set off at once, Rina and Eilie trailing behind as Riou, Jowy and Bolgan lead them towards to the mountain pass.

Eilie, trying not to seem to obvious, was looking at Riou. The sun's rays glinted off his golden crown in the places where his long brown hair did not block them. Eilie sighed as all young girls do when they fall in love (AN: yes this sounds pretty vague & stupid, but i didn't know how to describe this) not realizing that Rina had been watching her every action.

"Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho," Eilie's elder sister chuckled loudly, "So you also think he's cute, do you?"

Jowy and Riou suddenly sweatdropped at Rina's loud.

"Sis!" Eilie exclaimed, her face turning red as she glared at her sister.

"Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho," Rina continued chuckling.

After one hour or so of walking, the group finally made it to the border/pass gate. Two soldiers stood on guard. Both wore leather armor and had swords tied to their hips.

"Halt! This route is closed. We cannot let you enter it!" warned one of the soldiers.

"But why?" asked Rina.

"There are reports of some kind of a monster." (AN:was that the reason;i forget)

"Oh, really?" replied Rina sultrily, as she looked into the soldier's eyes and winked.

"Erm, uh, yes?"

"Let us go over there and talk shall we?"

"Uhh, okay,"

When the two came back, the flustered soldier told them that they could pass.

Rina chuckled to herself as the rest of her companions watched her with surprise.

"Nothing to concern all of you. Now let us go," Rina said.

Without a word, everyone picked up their belongings and hit the trail again.
